Probably. My LOB change suggestion was more based on keeping things
simple and not change the server much. As you point out, merging that
with a more significant protocol change will impose more changes anyhow
so why not go the full route and get rid of LOB's as the stand today
altogether.
In any case, a good start would be to allow stream access to a bytea on
the server side so that the client can use Blob access and binary streams.
A related topic is of course text and Clob's. It would be nice if the
could be handled the same way with the addition of needed encoding support.
